Get my paperwork together (and make sure my DH knows all the passwords)!

See the Northern Lights.

I'm a little surprised that's the first one that popped into my head but I guess that says something.

I hope to spend my last penny (lol).

See my grandchildren get married. My daughter is almost 11 and I am in my 40's, so it is kind of a long shot. But you asked.

If I can't have that, I will settle for doing something that people remember my name. Hopefully it will be for something good, but I can't promise anything.

Not that long of a shot! I am in my late 40s and have an 11 year old.

Hmmm.....

I would like my kids to see where I grew up. We are planning a possible trip next summer to the other side of the world to make that happen.

Honestly, the biggest thing I want is to get my kids settled in careers and able to be self-supported and know they will be ok. My oldest has some special needs and I need to know he will be ok either with someone else or with one of his brothers OR best scenario yet, able to support himself and live on his own.

make my relationships stronger with both my kids, some of it is normal teenage stuff but some of it is things the ex has said about me. Before they are totally launched, I want to get to a better place with them both. A year ago I was in the hospital, having what looked like a major stroke, my speech was a garbled mess but I tried to tell them everything I needed/wanted them to know. I never want to be in that situation again, I want them to know how I feel about them, etc

The doc had said bring them in in case I lost speech altogether. It was evening time. After garbling pleading with the ex to bring them in, he did. I thought wow, that was nice of him. A week later, I got a letter from his lawyer saying I was never to "disturb" him when it is his custody time with them. Before I died, I wanted to repair my relationship with him, I have been trying to co-parent for 14 yrs. That letter let me off the hook, I don't "owe" him anything before I die.

I want to have grandchildren.

One of those things completely out of my control, but I don't know if I can think of anything else that seems to bring so much joy to people. So if I am lucky enough to have grandchildren, that is what I look forward to.

Oh me too! I want to see my grandchildren married with kids and HAPPY! I want everyone of my family happy.

**ua_guy** · 02-01-2016, 10:49 AM

...to see Alaska and Northern BC.

...to send a letter to my birth father, letting him know I've found him, and that I'm alive.

...to see my brother find peace with himself.

...to own another fast car

...to see my nieces grow up, and do great things, and for them to find love and happiness.

I want to...
see DSs married, these revolving live-ins are contrary to my value system, it's so hard to keep my mouth shut,
stop having recurring bouts of cancer
never ever have another heart attack! It sent my family into a tizzy we're still working on settling. I knew the medicos were fixing the problem but family had no information and over reacted.

I hope no more scary medical stuff happens, that you dance at DSs' weddings and no one lives on your couch.

Spread a million smiles

Life has a purpoe. Maybe, it's different to everyone out there. But the fundamentals remain the same. Try and give back as much to the society.

Our short / long time goals are never contant and it needs tinkering quite often. Although, we do maintain a robust list of To Do's, yet most of it falls short as we keep re-inventing stuffs.

For me - It's creating values & spreading smiles by undertaking any task that would truly be meaningful not just to me but everyone around
